Microstamping? That’s what you get out of this, Mark? And really? Mission accomplished banner? Obama may be criticized for his lacklustre delivery of huge promises, but there is no way he is that blind or that naive or that stupid as Bush was to hang that banner. Take a look at the big picture, breathe your sigh of relief and kiss your “terrorist hunting permit” window sticker we all know you have plastered to the back of your Ford pickup.

@jimmhopep – Bush didn’t hang that banner, the Navy did. It was the liberal media that made a mockery of the message that Saddam was kicked out of power. Every liberal pundant in the last 8 or so years has spouted that the mission was to get Bin Laden. So the Mission Accomplished banner should have been left at the compound for a job well done and a nice photo op. However, I’m sure you have a similar banner on your bathroom door right above your toilet paper recycle bin.

And it was JdR that drew the microstamping. It is there for a reason. Not just coincidence. Your free-range-no-hormone natural beef is with him. Personnaly, I think it would have been great if the weapons used by the Seal team stamped each shell casing with “Courtesy of Seal Team 6″. But the message about 9/11 was a good one.

No ford pick-up or “terrorist hunting permit” window stickers here. But if you meant to imply that I am ready to defend our country, our families and our way of life from our enemies, with my life, I was ready to do that years ago, and I remain so today.

Mark, Just to be clear, what I drew is NOT microstamping. What I drew in my cartoon is a spin off of the usual identifying markings found at the base of centerfire ammunition. Microstamping, by contrast, is literally a microstamp that is carved onto the firing pin, so that when the pin strikes the primer, it leaves not only a dent, but identifying information that is visible only under high magnification.

Love to critical commentary on the aftermath of the raid. So glad to see it. I am sure GWB would have faced similar barbs and snarkiness for the haze and confusion, lies and double speak that filled the airways post raid… It is good and just to hold all of our leaders accountable in a similar manner and applaud the TU for doing so.
